1. The Sugary Soda Habit –A study carried out on employees at Osaka University
in Japan suggested that drinking two or more soda drinks a day (diet or regular)
may be connected with a higher risk of kidney disease. 12,000 employees were
included in the study, and those that consumed larger amounts of soda were more
likely to have protein in their urine. Protein in urine (proteinuria) is an
early sign of kidney damage, but, when discovered at that stage, the disease can
still be reversible.
